Here's my situation I've got my 32 witch has been t-boned has rb20det ( 264s, gtx3071 with r33 rear, power fc and all the mods to suit) 252kw (no torque )

I've also got a laurel with a rb25 de. I'm unsure if its worth putting all my parts from my rb20 stuff into the rb25de.

Any advice or help would be much appreciated

What are peoples thoughts on using an rb20det ECU with nistune on a series 2 rb25de+t?

waste of time, just get a Z32 ECU (if you're adamant on using Nistune) if not get an old PowerFC for cheap

Model - A31 cefiro

Engine - RB25DE series 1

Modifications / Parts Used - completely stock un open or modified block and head. garet turbo stainless top mount manifould, sard 650cc injectors, hdi intercooler kit,38mm wastgate

Engine Management Used - Link G4 plug in

Fuel Used - 95 octane and E30 ethanole

Boost Used - 8psi on petrol and 12psi on E30

Dyno Tune Results - 290hp on petrol and 360hp on E30

Misc- when preforming a de+t you have a reasonably strong base engine package to begin with. but the one problem you will always face is detonation due to your compression ratio puls your trying to force feed it more air. to combat this I used ethanol blend witch burns far cooler there for lowering your risk of detonation and the ability to run more boost= more power! I have used and abused this engine package for 3 years now with no issues to the (still) stock standard engine package. to this day I still recommend people to use a plus T engine overr a standard turbo engine

Costs - Parts: $4,000 Labour: $0.00 Tuning: $2,000

Hey guys im currently doing an RB25de NEO +T conversion for my R33 track car. I want to use a forward facing plenum but the intake ports on the head are smaller than the FFP ports. Anyone running a FFP on there RB25de NEO turbo engine? The plans are are a GT3076, ID2000 injectors, microtech, extenal gate on a modded 25det turbo manifold. I really dont want to use the factory 25DE inlet manifold.

Cheers guys

has anyone had any issues fitting a standard RB25det turbo manifold onto an RB25de NEO? Looks as if i need to die grind the holes in the manifold where it bolts up to the studs. Have tried 2 different standard 25 turbo manifolds and same thing on both. Not a big problem, just wondering if anyone has had the same thing happen

MODEL: R32 gts

ENGINE: RB20DE

Mods/ parts: R32 gts ecu and injectors.

EBay intercooler kit. S1 rb25 turbo. Pod filter.

BOOST: 12PSI

FUEL: mostly 98 unleaded.

Standard 92 in country tassie when times are tough lot.

Power: don't know but beats modified V8 commodores and wrx's at powercruise.

Other notes: have now done 30,000kms thrashing the fu#k out of the old girl. Held back on posting a review for a couple of years because I don't want to give bad advice to people.

It's now been tested and all I can say is that a turbo setup on a Na with a standard turbo ecu with turbo injectors has the same reliability as a standard turbo engine.

Will try to get to a dyno soon.

cost: approx. $1000

(turbo,manifold, water and oil lines) $400

(ecu and injectors) $200

(exhaust downpipe, custom intake) $300

(other sh#t) $100

Greetings friends.
I am new to the topic but I see that you master it very well. I have 2 rb20 one aspirated and another turbo, I would like to know if it would be better to invest the money to the aspirate to get more profit or simply mix them.

Anyway, I've been thinking about doing the rb20 of + t but I would like to hear your opinion and recommendations.

Thank you.

Have you got two cars or just two engines? If the latter do up the turbo engine and drop it in. You will still need the ecu and loom and an intercooler of course.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
